“…For example, AF increases the risk of stroke by 5-fold2 and the risk of heart failure by 3-fold 3. AF causes considerable morbidity and mortality, negatively impacts quality of life and well-being and imposes significant burden on health care systems 4. Aging populations, increasing prevalence of comorbidities and more effective treatment of cardiovascular diseases are all contributing to the increasing incidence of AF and its associated health care burden 5.…”
